Cosy Cottage Soap, has hand-picked a selection of natural, handmade bathing and skincare products to treat mums this Mother’s Day. Not only does the range pamper but it also cares for the planet and introduces recipients to simple swaps that reduce waste and are kinder to the planet.
Keen to further its mission to support the environment and reduce packaging waste in the skincare and cosmetics industry; Cosy Cottage Soap has created a range of natural, plastic-free bathing, skincare and cleaning products. Since the launch of its solid shampoo bars, the company has already saved over 300,000 plastic bottles from landfill and strives to offer consumers eco alternatives to everyday products.
The natural, ethical and handmade skincare brand is proudly plastic, palm oil and cruelty-free and avoids using environmentally harmful chemicals including SLS and parabens in its products. In efforts to further reduce waste, Cosy Cottage promotes a circular economy. Working together with neighbouring businesses to its workshop in Malton, Yorkshire the team recycles and reuses their discarded products and packaging where possible.
Clara Challoner Walker, Founder of Cosy Cottage Soap, comments: “Mother’s Day is always the perfect excuse to show the leading women in your life how much you care and this year we are encouraging people to also honour Mother Nature with their gift choices. Consumers are looking to reduce their negative impact on the planet and make more sustainable choices. It may sound surprising but an easy place to start is the bathing, skincare and cleaning products we use every day.
“There is an abundance of great natural ingredients that make kind skincare and don’t damage the environment during manufacturing. In creating a range of pampering products that they don’t cost the earth – either financially or environmentally – we are hoping that mums enjoy a lovely gift that gives a little something back.”
